The CS130D generator is standard equipment on the 3800
V6 L36. The AD237 generator is standard equipment on the 3.5L Twin Cam V6
LX5. The components of these generators include:
| • | Built-in regulator with fault detection |
| • | Rotor with slip rings and brushes |
| • | Internal fans are used to cool the internal components. |
The generator needs the following three connections:
| • | The generator output BAT terminal to the battery positive B+. |
| • | The L terminal to the PCM. |
| • | A ground path through the generator bracket. |
The P, F, and S terminals in the 4-way connector are not used
on this vehicle.
The regulator is temperature compensated, and limits the system voltage
by controlling rotor field current. To help control radio noise, the field
current is switched on and off at a fixed frequency of about 400 cycles
per second while the field circuit is ON. By varying the on-off time, the
correct average field current is obtained to provide the proper system
voltage. At high speeds, the on-time may be 10 percent and the off-time
90 percent. At low speeds with high electrical loads, on-time may
be 90 percent. The regulator voltage also varies with system temperature.
This generator does not require lubrication. The rotor shaft is mounted
on permanently lubricated bearings at both ends. Each contains a lifetime
grease supply.
Important: AD237 generator and 3.5L engine only.
Light to moderate steering shudder can occur as a result of both high
steering load (vehicle stationary/parking lot type maneuvers)
and high accessory load.
